8 reasons to NOT vote Conservative

Theresa May and the Tories have released a truly incredible video detailing 8 reasons they say you should vote Tory at the 2017 General Election. This video has been shared on Facebook over 3,000 times, and half a million people have seen it.In this article I'm going to demonstrate that all eight of their stated reasons for voting Tory are actually reasons to vote against them. I've added taken screen shots and I've corrected them in the red Boxes below. beneath each screenshot I've included additional comments and sources to back up my claims.

8 reasons to not vote Conservative

Jeremy Corbyn is not a narcissistic authoritarian control freak like Theresa May, so he'd delegate the negotiation job to his Brexit Minister (the experienced, intelligent and highly capable Keir Starmer QC) rather than trying to micro-manage the whole thing himself, like May obviously would.

Aside from their headline NHS pledge being a total deception, the Tories have also drawn up an outrageous plan to use public funds to bribe NHS hospitals to flog off their land on the cheap to property developers, and bully them into doing it if they refuse with extreme financial sanctions. This Tory NHS asset stripping plot is called the Naylor Report. Anyone who votes on June 8th without knowing about the Naylor Report is voting in terrifying ignorance.

Aside from the absolute hypocrisy of ripping off an idea they were deriding as "communism" just a few years ago, there's also the important issue of why energy prices are so unfair.

The Tory privatisation of the energy market has been a total disaster for ordinary people, business customers, and the energy market itself.

Instead of offering a simplistic "sticking plaster" solution to the problem Labour are proposing some serious reforms. They plan to renationalise the transmission grid (which is currently part owned by the Chinese government!), set up regional not-for-profit energy companies to compete with the rip-off "big 4", and also invest in small local energy cooperatives.

Of all of the eight claims, this is a contender for the most misleading of the lot.

Here's an article about the extreme ideological vandalism the Tories have done to our schools since 2010 by giving them away, for free, to a load of unaccountable private pseudo-charities (many of them owned by millionaire Tory donors).
